Scripts for converting DublinCore to MARC

Export the items you want to convert the metadata for, using the DSpace export tool.
Download and unpack the dc2marc.tar\ .

The files in this package are as follows:
clean_linefeeds.pl - formats the dublin_core.xml files in a new files named dublin_core
parse_indicators.pl - converts DCq to MARC - the result is a dspace.mrc file, containing all records

Both Perl programs are run using the m_marc.sh.script
USAGE: m_marc.sh (DIRECTORY where the dspace items were exported)

clean-before-rerun.sh - removes dublin_core files created by clean_linefeeds.pl, if for whatever reason you want to rerun the scripts.
USAGE: clean-before-rerun.sh (DIRECTORY where the dspace items were exported)

The scripts may require the installation of some Perl modules.
